Sturgis advertiser. (Sturgis, Dakota [S.D.]) 1887-1???, 1887-10-26

One-tenth Of this capital has already
been paid in. The English syndicate
take three-fifths of this stock, and james
Wilson and associates Of New York hold
two-fifths. The Bank OF England and
high officials Of the government are
represented in this company. A COM
mission Of the investors and experts
recently visited the mines, at which time
the celebrated tin expert, Prot. Vincent,
saw more lodes and tin ore on the crop
pings than he has seen in all the rest OF
the tin mines Of the world. Part OF this
scheme is the building marrow guage
road to connect the Fremont and Elk
horn at Rapid City. This is the biggest
mining company, with more capital be-
hind it than ever organized for operations
in the United States, and perhaps none
of greater importance and magnitude in
its operations and effects, ever before
went in operation.
The tin mines were discovered, pros
pected and developed to the present stage,
that of making it possible and profitable
for large capital to take hold to construct
the necessary mills, furnaces and rail-
roads by the hardy sons of toll, the
miners of the Black Hills, and to them
alone will be due the credit OF the great
industry.
The mineral discoveries and develop
ments of the past year in the Hills are Of
the highest importance and OF great value,
predicting an area of great prosperity to
that region.
Suspended by wire over the ore ex-
hibit is an exact cast of an ear OF corn
made of tin. ore from the Hills, reduced
at the Dakota school of mines at Rapid
City, by Prof. r. F. Carpenter.
A bottle of lubricating oil from the
flowing springs of the Hills was also ON
exhibition which is said to be of excellent
quality. Also a gallon Of water from
the celebrated Hot Springs, Minnekata
situated in the south end of the Hills, and
which are becoming to the northwest
what the Arkansas hot springs are tc
the south.
It is. a perfectly safe assertion that
the Black Hills country is attracting
more attention from capitalists at the
present time than ever before. This
region is receiving more favorable no.
tice from thesmetropolitan press than al
any previous time, and for seyera
reasons. Chief among those reasons il
the fact that the claims of the people
of the Hills regarding the richness o
their country are being thoroughly
substantiated. The outside world il
now in possession OF material evidences
to corroborate what has heretofore
been looked upon as mere assertion
The output of developed mines speaks
in manner not to be misunderstood
The tones of fine ore samples, from
mines but little developed, sent out K
expositions in various parts of thu
Union, and even across the ocean, ex
cite an interest which leads to investi
Z. cation on the part Of people OF means
and the result must be highly bene
fetal. Truly, in the language Of tn
